Bug? or functioning as intended?

Hi,

I have a TLF Read-Only Textbox. I have given the text box an instance name and attached a MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT listener to it.

On mouse over: Displays a value with the .text property.
On mouse out: Sets the .text property to “”

The textbox functions correcty as I move the mouse onto the textbox area; a value is displayed. However, if I hover the mouse over the actual value, the mouse over and mouse out listeners get activated repeatedly in sequence. Is this a bug with AS3/cs5? Is there a way around this?

Here is some of the relevant code (from different classes):

**_gameModel._UI.textbox2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onMouseOver);
_gameModel._UI.textbox2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,onMouseOut);
**
**private function onMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void
{
_gameController.processMouseOver(event);
}
**
**private function onMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void
{
_gameController.processMouseOut(event);
}
**
*public function processMouseOver(event:Event)
{
_gameModel.onesTotal=0;
for(var i:int=0;i<_gameModel.diceArray.length;i++)
{
if(_gameModel.diceArray
.Value==1)
{
_gameModel.onesTotal=_gameModel.onesTotal+1;
}
}
_gameModel._UI.textbox2.text=_gameModel.onesTotal;
}
**
**public function processMouseOut(event:Event)
{
_gameModel._UI.textbox2.text="";
}
**
Thanks in advance,
